This is Patty Pan Squash Patty pan squash, also known as scallop squash or sunburst squash, is a small, round summer squash variety. Here are some facts about it: Appearance: Patty pan squash has a distinct scalloped or saucer-like shape, resembling a small flying saucer or disc. Colors: They come in various colors, including white, yellow, and green. The color of the skin often doesn't affect the taste. Flavor and Texture: Patty pan squash has a mild, delicate flavor and a tender, slightly crisp texture when cooked. It's often compared to zucchini in taste and texture. Nutritional Value: Like other summer squashes, patty pan squash is low in calories, a good source of vitamins A and C, and provides some dietary fiber and potassium. Cooking Methods: It can be enjoyed raw in salads, but is commonly cooked by sautéing, grilling, roasting, or baking. Its small size makes it suitable for stuffing. Harvesting: Harvest the squash when it's small and tender, usually around 2-4 inches in diameter. Larger patty pan squash might become tough and less flavorful. Growing: Patty pan squash is relatively easy to grow and thrives in warm climates. It requires full sun and well-drained soil. It's often planted from seeds directly in the garden.

4 tough squash varieties that are resistant to squash vine borer and squash bugs: 1. Zucca Lunga di Napoli - This Italian cultivar produces massive sized squash (30-70lbs) which is reflected in how big its leaves/stems are.  2. Tromboncio Rampicante - Another Italian cultivar that produces long baseball bat sized squash that can be picked young to be eaten like zucchini or allowed to fully mature on the vine to be harvested as a winter storage squash.  3. Tahitian Squash - My favorite for a "butternut" type of squash. It produces large squash with seedless long necks making it easy to peel/dice up. 4. Seminole Pumpkin - This personal sized pumpkin was grown by Native American tribes in Florida (and other parts of the eastern United States). Native crops tend to be easier to grow since they can withstand the pests/diseases of the area. All of these squash cultivars are part of the C. Moschata family which boosts harder/thicker stems and leaves making it harder for pests to get into.  Find seeds for many of these squashes on my website.  #squash #seminolepumpkin #tromboncinorampicante #beginnergardener #gardeningtips #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #gardeningforbeginners #gardentok #gardensoftiktok #zone9

These are my top 3 favorite squash varieties to grow. Each one is unique, produces a ton of food, and thrives in my challenging Florida garden. 1. Tromboncino Rampicante - this produces loads of baseball bat sized squash that can be used as a summer squash like zucchini when picked young, or harvest once the rind is tan like butternut squash to store away for 3 months.  2. Seminole Pumpkin - Native to the United States, this pumpkin/squash is part of the Cucurbita Moschata family which has a very high pest resistance. Perfect for those of us that struggle with squash bugs or squash vine borers. It produces loads of personal sized pumpkins that can last 1 year if stored properly.  3. Cocozelle - A beautiful Italian heirloom zucchini with glossy dark green skin with white stripes.  Find seeds for all of these cultivars on my website.  #homegrown #gardens #greenthumb #gardenlife #centralfloridagardening #gardentok #gardeningtips #zone8 #zone9 #southerngarden #urbanfarm #homestead #vegetablegarden #zucchini #cocozelle #seminolepumpkin #tromboncinorampicante #squash

We grow all different types of squash on the farm, but buttercup is a family favorite! It has rich flavor and the skin is softer that you do not have the peel it if you are roasting it. I prepped most of ours to freeze it to use over the winter. #pumpkinseason #madisonwi #schustersfarm #squash
